it was a real kick in the teeth for the UK when John Kerry described France as the USA's oldest ally.
Check yer history folks.....they were and are.

Maybe not the best or most loyal....but they were the first at a time when it mattered most to this Country called America.

Perhaps as some are saying it is the Americans who are not the most loyal and staunchest of Allies.

Ya'll do remember a bit of unpleasantness at a place called Yorktown do you not? Something about the French Navy, a fellow named Lafayette and some trespassers known as Hessians and some fellows in Red led by a guy named Cornwallis?
